Many families will reject the idea of organ donation in an effort to hold on to their loved one. The case study this week regarding the distribution of organs for transplants has brought about many changes in the ways donated organs are distributed. In the case study, Misty is a 26 year old famous recording artist who has always given back by donating her time to perform benefits of charities and has established her own charity for children with leukemia. Misty is diagnosed with a rare kidney disease which will warrant a kidney transplant. She is put on the list as most patients are to wait for a match.
Despite warnings from doctors that pregnancy might involve complications that could be life-threatening, Shelby decides - much to M'Lynn's chagrin - to have a child.

Quality of Life and Functioning Thomas Case Scenario By Vanessa Schneider Western Governors University Personal Perceptions On May 8, 1990 my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. That day is clearly etched in my mind, because it was my birthday. Less than two years later she died. Having lived a scenario close to Mrs. Thomas’s, I personally can speak about how one’s own perceptions in regard to quality of life and health promotion might affect the care administered to a patient with a terminal illness. Often when providing care for a patient with a lingering illness the nurse must refocus to ensure the needs and wants of the patient and family are being followed and not allow her own personal beliefs to interfere.

Have you ever thought of being an organ donor? What if you needed a kidney, do you think you would get it in time before you died?
Dear Laura, I am writing today to give you advice about the decision you wish to make whether to have any children. I understand that your nephew has cystic fibrosis and you and your spouse, Paul, are worried about any children that you may have. In this letter, I will be informing you of all the options that are open to you, the risks that come with those options, what the chances of your child inheriting cystic fibrosis (CF) are and what symptoms of CF you will need to look out for in your children if you chose to have any. Some of the options open for you and Paul to contemplate are: * Not having any children * Trying to adopt a child * Having the child without a pre-natal test * Having genetic testing of the foetus (if the test shows that your child has cystic fibrosis, whether to have a termination) Pre-natal testing can indicate before the baby is born, whether or not it has cystic fibrosis. The testing is performed using either an amniocentesis test, or a chorionic villus test.
